4.0 out of 5 stars Ace Young Appeals to the Older Crowd, July 17, 2008

By	Sidney L. Vaught (Roanoke, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't remember Ace Young on American Idol, probably because I hate the show and don't watch it. However, I must say this CD is not bad at all. I've heard worse coming from new artists. I'm middle age and usually don't buy a lot of pop CD's anymore. I was browsing at the mall one evening and decided to go into a music store and proof listen some CD's from today's artists.

After listening to a few sample tracks, I bought Ace Young's CD. After listening to all the tracks, I must say it is a pleasant CD to listen to. I don't think it will be a Grammy winner but this is a very good attempt.

I've always loved electronic music and I create electronic music tracks myself. I've been singing for quite a few decades and this young man has a pretty sophisticated style for someone so young.

I hope he gets some momentum to record more. Ace Young will be someone I'll watch out for in the years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something for everyone, July 19, 2008

By	texas toast (Texas - USA) - See all my reviews

Ace Young's first CD far exceeded my expectations. There isn't a single song that I am tempted to skip over. The production on each track is lush, polished and multi-layered. The variety of ballads, pop, dance, and emotion keeps things interesting from beginning to end.

Each song tells a story. No silly novelty songs here. Universally understandable emotions fill the lyrics of this album.

My favorites cover more than half the songs. I like The Letter, You Redeem Me, Fast Life, Young Money, How You Gonna Spend Your Life, The Girl That Got Away, Dirty Mind and The Gift. But I must like the final three songs the best. Each time I hear the beginning of The Girl That Got Away I smile. I know I'm at the beginning of an up-tempo three song ride.

Go ahead, buy this one. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ace Attack!!, July 15, 2008

By	L. Crater (Hershey, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ace, I'm so very proud of you. I have to admit that I've been a loyal fan since you appeared on Season 5 of American Idol, and this cd was a long time coming but so worth the wait. Your cd is simply amazing. All of the tracks are enjoyable and radio friendly - no filler here!! There is a nice mixture of ballads, up-tempo & R&B tunes to make this album flow like water from a stream. It is quite obvious that you didn't rush to make this cd and selection of songs. Ace is finally here to show the world what he has to offer which is a beautiful voice and heart that only he knows how to portray in his voice when singing. I honestly like every track on this cd, but my absolute favorites are: Addicted (of course), You Redeem Me, How You Gonna Spend Your Life, & The Girl That Got Away.

Congratulations Ace on a job well done - you deserve this!!
